Twitter makes the leap from Universal App to Progressive Web App before Spring Creators Update arrives

At the time we learned that Redstone 4, or as we know it, Spring Creators Update, will be compatible with Progressive Web Applications (PWAs)thanks to the collaboration of Microsoft and Google.

One of the big improvements that we will see coming with the spring update and that may be the next step in the evolution of apps as we now know them. If we have seen how Microsoft's battle was to have universal applications to improve its ecosystem, now the leap seems to be in PWAs or Progressive Web Applications.

Before we continue, remember that PWAs are at their core a website that can be used as a native desktop or mobile applicationIt is something like a web application, but with more advanced capabilities with which they manage to offer better experiences than those we have when visiting a website or even installing an app.

Progressive Web Applications imply improvements such as greater speed, the possibility of updating faster and not taking up storage space

This also means that PWAs offer the advantage of having all the functionality of the native app, plus great speed and without the need to take up space with an installation on our device. And one of the first to join the bandwagon has been Twitter.

And it is that the popular social network has chosen to move from universal applications and has updated its official client in the Microsoft Store in Progressive Web Application format In this way you benefit from all the aspects that we have seen before and also, you will not depend so much on updates.

After too long a time without receiving content, by now becoming a Progressive Web Application its users will have a more up-to-date app , as it will benefit from the improvements made to the web version.

To be able to use a progressive application you must have in your team a Build that belongs to the development branch of Redstone 4 (Spring Creators Update) and thus be able to install the latest version of Twitter. If you already have it installed, the update should arrive automatically.

It is hoped that with the arrival of the spring update in Windows 10 in a few days, more applications will choose to take the plunge , since the reach of the general public of the compatibility with the progressive applications will make them more interesting.
